Protect yourself from the Undead

"Zombie Apocalypse Insurance!"
"What? for when you become a zombie?" he looked confused.
"No! Against zombies-for when the Undead fuck your shit up!"
"That's your big business plan?" still trying to wrap his brain around what I was saying.
"Yeah!" I laughed.
"Jess, do you really think people are gonna buy that?"
"Hell if I know, but it's the best idea so far-and there are tons of zombie fans out there! And some of them actually believe this stuff. Shit, sometimes I believe it's gonna happen. We'll all wake up one day to a loved one trying to gnaw off a foot." I nodded, thinking to myself.

"Then what happens?"

"hmm? Oh, well then we pay out. If someone is attacked, or zombies wreck their home, whatever they have coverage on, they'll be reimbursed!" I explained excitedly.

"zombie apocalypse insurance" he sighed, shaking his head.

"Yeah!"

This started with Shattered Aphrodite, from my poetry book. Eventually I'll do a whole group of Greek (maybe Roman) Gods and Goddesses.
I think the Amazing food we ate yesterday at Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Pittsburgh influenced the name a bit though.

On a side note, living out of the truck has been amazing thus far. Headin toward Philly, probably tomorrow. The only down fall is two weeks without a shower! Ugh. Been using bathrooms to clean up in, it's the only way to stay sane.

I've been writing some short story stuff, along with poetry. But here's one of my more "darker comedies". Enjoy.

"A snuff film"
"what?" I looked down, then squinted up at him.
"A snuff film! Think about it...we need money while we travel. We find a drifter and kill 'em on camera. It'd sell for loads of money on the 'black market'" He laughed, looking a little too excited.
"kill one of our own?"
"Well it doesn't have to be a drifter...just thought that'd be the easiest"
"Nobody looks for drifters" I whispered, more to myself than anything.
"Exactly! See I knew you'd understand where I'm coming from!" That fire of excitement in his eyes.
"When I said we needed money for travel I didn't mean this! There's gotta be other ways of making money." I said with nervous anger in my voice.
"Alright, but when you realize that we're never gonna make as much money a snuff film would bring in you come talk to me" His attitude sober and serious now, staring into my eyes. I looked away and bit the inside of my lip for a second
"Ok. I'll think about it" I said quietly
